RETALIATION NOT TO BE TRIED.

Mr. Hits commentary upon the text of the
Presidents non-comnttal letter on Retaliation
is as instructive as it is incisve. The Ad
ministration neither desires nor intends to
enforce the act passed by Congress. The Pres
idcnt will do nothing TO protect the rights OF
American fishermen or to uphold the National
honor His grandoqucnt sentences read be
tween the lines forcshadow another season Of
diatoIy diplomacy and inaction. There will
be another large volume of fisheries CORE
spondcncc to he laid upon the desks of Senators
next December. but the Retaliation act will
not be brought TO bear against Canada
1t was evident last winter that the President
did not desire any legislation for the protection
of the fishing fleet The Senate bill was hung
up for weeks in the House Committee on For
cign Affairs, and two bills were brought for
ward as substitutes for it for the express pur-
purpose Of causing deadlock between the
two houses. Secretary Manning, who was about
10 retire from the Cabinet was the only mem
Der of the Administration credited with holding
strong views on this subject. Mr.. Hit is right
in saying that il was generally understood in
Washington that the President was anxious to
have the session close without legislation in
relation TO the fisheries. The Republicans,
with the aid of few patriotic Democrats
rescued the Senate bill and armed the Admin
istration with ample powers for the protection
of the Ncw.England feet. The President, be

THE PANHANDLE IOBBERY

The suQden arrest or scores OF employees OF
the Panhandle Railroad, charged with COM
plicity in systematic and long continued rob
berries of freight is sensational development.
According TO the fragmentary statements made
by officers of the company these thcfts have
been going on for some three years and amount
to two or three hundred thousand dollars
strangely large proportion Of the crews of the
Panhandle freight trains is said to be impll-
Gated and the robbcries appear to have been
carried on with as much rccklcssncss as method.
A gang of train robbers numbering over one
hundred, and composed entirely. or almost en-
tircly. of railroad hands. is something decidedly
ont of the common way in the history OF crime,
and perhaps the public may be disposed TO
think that the submission OF the company for
three years to this scheme OF wholesale plumber
Is only less remarkable than the conspiracy
itself With so large number OF thieves
engaged it never could have been very difficult
to obtain clews and information. The explain
alton probably is that the Panhandle managers
wanted to get evidence against the whole gang.
and therefore determined 10 give them plenty
Of rope.
1t is significant as tending to demonstrate
the good influence of such labor organizations
"a the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the brotherhood Of Fircmen, that no men,
Der of either of these bodies is in any way i'm
plicated in the robberies. The crews Of the
freight trains, consisting Of conductors, flagmen
and brallemen, appear to have been alone con-
ccrned, though there are intimations that the
gang had outside connections. and those of the
fence kind have already in several instances
been discovered. Perhaps the most singular
pha-e of the affair is the confidence with which
the thieves pursued their work. Though, Of
course, they knew that the constant disappear
ance of goods must be known to the company,
and that active steps to ascertain the truth
were certain to be taken they seem to have
gone on stealing as placidly and methodically
as if there were not the least danger Of dis
covery and punishment. The case is remark
able in many ways and no doubt the trial will
be interesting.

CONTINUOUS SHIPMENT"

The first decision under the Interstate law
is less important than some who have CON-
mented thereon suppose. 1t does not appear
from the language of the decision telegrapbed
that il touches the vital question whether the
act applies to competition between railroads
and water routes there Is obvious force in
the argument that where road has to perform
part of its business in competition with water
transportation, while the rest meets no such
competition, these two parts of its work cannot
be said to be under substantially similar cir
cumstances and conditions" and therefore the
long and short haul section cannot apply 10
rates made On such competitive traffic. But a
judicial decision on that point is awaited with
interest, for Judge Deadly, OF the United States
Circuit Court for the Oregon District, reaches
his decision in the case Of the Oregon and Cal
iforna road without touching, affirmatively or
negatively, the applicability of the act to
traffic in competition with water routes.
The case turned entirely. according to the
telegraphed report, upon the question whether
the relations between that railroad company
and the steamers of the Oregon Navigation
Company were such as to constitute "conan-
uous carriage or shipment" within the intent
and meaning Of the act. The railroad operat-
ing wholly within the State, transported at such
rates as it pleased, the law not applying to those
rates II avowedly made lower rates for grain
destined for shipment to San Francisco by
steamer than for the same products transported
to Portland But the claim was that there
existed between the railroad and the steamship
company no agreement or guarantee which
constituted common control, management
or arrangement for continuous carriage or snip
ment" and the court so holds.
Consequently the decision only illustrates the
case with which the purpose of the act can he
cvaded. because the burden Of proof that such
arrang ements for continuous shipment do ex-
ist must always rest with the complainant
1t is always within the power of transporting
companies to effect such understandings with
each other as to remain outside the provisions
of the act, and vet in effect offer special terms
for through shipments. The number of devices
by which such an evasion can be effected, ana
the great variety of circumstances to be con-
sidered in each case render the act an exceed
ingly difficult one TO enforce in this particular
as in many others Probably it will be found
that its trainers have attempted TO do more
than was possible. in trying TO treat the move
ment Of freight over different lines. by various
arrangements between them, as "one continuous
carriage or shipment" II so, the net Will he
deprived Of efficiency as to a great proportion
of the competitive traffic which it was intended
to control.

amusement and in Herr Thomas's skiful hands that
purpose Is always contaminated. lie represents an
old bachelor who gets people into Trouble by constant
interference and then rights them. lie brings about
an engagement between foolish young man with
